creamy vodka sauce

Cook like a pro by adding a little vodka and some pancetta to a basic pasta sauce.

Easy Vodka Sauce

onion (finely diced)

olive oil (or butter)

pancetta (chopped,

garlic (minced)

vodka

tomatoes

red pepper flakes

heavy cream

parmesan cheese (or romano cheese)

parsley

Break up the tomatoes with your hands (reserving juices) and set aside.

Add onion and olive oil to a medium sized saucepan. Cook over medium heat until onion is softened. Add pancetta and cook 3-4 minutes or until some of the fat has rendered out.

Add vodka and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant.

Add tomatoes with juices and pepper flakes. Simmer 10-12 minutes.

Stir in cream and simmer an additional 7-10 minutes or until thickened.

Remove from heat, stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

This Vodka Cream Sauce combines the heartiness of a traditional marinara with the silky smooth texture of a creamy Italian-herbed sauce.
